Ten years have passed since the Battle of Arnaulden Keep, and Carvel is under attack by covert forces intent on her destruction. A coordinated strike’s fury and power point to a single conclusion: one of Torvia’s sorcerers is behind it. As the investigation continues, each successive revelation leads to an inevitable possibility: the most likely suspect is Andrin Sethuel.

The necromancer’s magic is poised to kill the emperor of Mistrin, freeing her to rule from behind the throne. She plots vengeance against the Rondural and Torvia by calling an army of the dead to battle the kingdom of Carvel. This strange magic threatens to devastate the world, and it may force Andrin Sethuel to obliterate the Rondural—and therefore himself.

Cloelle Banderal begs Abaddon to resurrect her grandfather, but instead he captures her and steals her memory. Andrin Sethuel can’t free her despite his new power. Magic is failing because of the necromancer; Andrin goes back in time to destroy her and save Torvia. Although she’s bound by enchantment, her darkling magic gives her the power to kill—and bring the kingdom of Carvel to an end.

The Aluian Killer continues to terrorize Torvia. The Mistrin emperor invades the city and all but conquers it by law and edict. But when the king agrees to a tribute of Torvians to the Mistrin Empire, Prince Danielen knows the time has come for him to overthrow his father. Andrin’s fate and the creature Rift’s intertwine, hurtling Andrin toward a destiny that could destroy him.

A cold-blooded killer lusts for others’ magic. A drug-addicted detective vows to thwart him. Dragged into a dangerous murder investigation, Andrin Sethuel alone stands between the killer’s murderous desires and his future victims’ salvation, a kingdom’s freedom and its enslavement. Andrin must choose between his king and a betrayal that will save his country from a ruthless conqueror’s invasion.
